About this work

This looks like an open book or small album against a black background. The left page shows a crumpled, blue-wrapped gum wrapper with faint text or images barely visible. The right page has a small yellow label with handwritten words: *"To choose is better than to refuse."* The gum wrapper’s crumpled texture stands out against the flat pages. The words on the label feel personal, like a quiet note tucked inside. Next, check out Alexis Smith to see how she used everyday objects in her work.
